19 " "To Parlin's mind, nothing showed affection like a hunk of something dead and bleeding on the table. "
20 " They push us into it, Lightsong thought. They craft all of this splendor and luxury, they give us whatever we desire, then they subtly poke at us. Be a god. Prophesy. Maintain our illusion for us. Die. Die so that we can keep believing. "
